He is also wanted in relation to an alleged indecent exposure committed in July, Scotland Yard said.
He has absconded previously and was found in the Paddington area; he also has links to Brent Cross, Hackney and Bromley.
Mohamed requires regular medication which he does not have with him – this means his behaviour could be unpredictable, particularly towards women.
